We can’t win fair and square, so let’s bully people who want to vote Kerry.
This is nothing but voter intimidation. The fuckers can’t win fair and square, so they’re hiring thugs to bully the voters in Democratic precints. This is anti-democratic, plain and simple.
Maybe they’re afraid they’ll get away with this?
And we have Michael Moore going to Florida for the same thing.
This is an ugly election. Both sides are claiming fraud and intimidation, and both sides have huge post-election litigation warchests.
We’re not going to know the winner on November 3.
Voters they “suspect” are not eligible? What the hell does that mean? What does a “suspicious” voter look like?
Oh wait…I know…they’re black, right?
Come on Pubbies, you really have to be fucking ashamed of your own fucking party.
Is this how you really want to win? By harassing black people at the polls or challenging every single person as a stalling tactic? Why don’t you just bring back poll taxes?
As I stated, there is cause for concern. The voter registration in Ohio is not as clean as it should be.
This is going to be a very ugly election. There’s plenty of blame to go around.
There is no cause for concern. The GOP is just trying to cheat again.
Minnesota is a swing state too. I wonder if they’re going to post these Bushtapo agents at our polls as well. I almost want one of these Nazis to try to fuck with my right to vote.
Metaphysical quandary: If you almost do, does that mean that you substantially don’t? 
It means I want to be careful what I wish for. 
Hey, Ivy,
What does a “suspicious” voter look like?
Meanwhile, I heard a news story this morning about Dem attempts to limit votes (in some way) from people in the military (who traditionally vote repub). We can’t win fair and square, so let’s bully people who want to vote Bush.
I have been an “undecided” voter since before the Democratic primaries. Personally, at this point I wouldn’t piss on either candidate if they were ablaze. I have never felt more unwanted. 
Minnesota has very liberal “who can vote” bills on the books. Our Secretary of State tried to change them (may her husband rot in hell - personal thing not at all related to her being Secretary of State), but didn’t. Its really hard to challenge people who only need one other person saying “yeah, they live in the precinct” and a peice of mail - same day registration.
On the other hand, from the GOP point of view, that makes voter fraud easy to pull off here as well.
Cite?
Would this have anything to do with the absentee ballots that were illegally let in after the deadline last time around?
You don’t think that 35000 registered voters with possibly bogus addresses is cause for concern?
Sorry, no cite. Radio news on the way in to work today and I was only half listening. But yes I think that your thoughts on absentee ballots is what was being discussed.
At this point in the process I am close to giving up. Neither candidate is entirely honest (IMHO) and I am prolly gonna vote libertarian as a “protest” vote although I do not believe in doing that.
If a 3rd party played their cards right, this election could be used to their advantage.
Not especially. You don’t need an address to vote.
Edina, Dio. The Pubbies regularly dredge up homeless Edina residents and register them to vote, offering a decent chardonnay or a wedge of brie.
We’re counting on you! Take your passport, and some bail money.
I really am not a fan of this. Occums razor. It’s not organized fraud, as is being claimed, it’s shady workers lining their pockets.
I don’t think the OPs article is about intimidation. It’s all about slowing down the voting process in heavily Democratic precincts. Hoping to discourage and delay.
I’d be interested in seeing the post election stats on challenges as it breaks down per precinct.
Homeless in Edina = those with a foundation size of less than 1800 sq feet, right?
